Not a republican ballot was cast in North Preble three in East Union, three in French and five in middle Monroe. If John Tyndall ever becomes as popular in the district as he is in Adams county, and he will if they give him the chance, he will be a power m congress and the eighth district of Indiana will be on the map. The republican vote in Adams coun ty in the Tuesday primaries was 603 outside of Decatur and St. Marys town-

ship, an average of twentyfour to the precinct. The boys are discouraged and with trident cause. Walter Hall who gave Mr. Tyndall a close race' for the congressional nomination made a wonderful showing in his home county of Deleware whole he ran far ahead of his two opponents. He is a clean and able young man and has many excellent friends over the district. He carried three of the coun ties. Mr. Mellet of Anderson also had the support of his home voters. The advertising merchant is tin only one who is getting the business these days. The people are looking for goods and prices and they search the paper each day for ar.y attractive announcement. The store keeper who does not take advantage of the opportunity to reach the customer:; through the Daily Democrat is losing out. Friends of John W. Tyndall will assist him in making a vigorous cam paign prior to the November election, with the hope that he can represent the district in the balls of congress. They realize his fitness, his honesty and will tell the people about it. Numerous offers of this aid in making a proper campaign are now being made by many and Mr. Tyndall will make every effort to win and to shew his appreciation of the honor conferred upon him by the nomination.

That’s good advortlsiug for we thus beautify the coms munity and make it healthier and a i better place in which to live.

Within the next two or three ! weeks the district chairmen will meet to select state chairmen of the two . leading parties, then come the state ■ conventions, a short rest and the big finals. There is always something of , political interest In the old Hoosier state. By the way what has become of the coal strike? We have been so busy with the primaries the past week or so that we have lost sight of it. Evidently it is still in progress however but the people apparently are not worryoing much about it. How about next fall though when the clouds gath er and the winds blow us the news that winter is approaching?

Monroe and Eleventh St. The sermon was based on the text from St. John: "Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they which testify of me." Referring in the introduction to the flood of literature printed in our day, .and to the omment on the subject Solomon gives in the last chapter of Ecclesiastes where he complains, “Os making of many books there is no end,’’ the Rev. A. W. Hinz called attention to the xirrupting influence by most of the popular literature of today upon the 'atth and morals of Christians, con•eding at the same time the value of ;ood books and literature which caches things useful for the life in his world. He said, God has given nan understanding to nse it to find rat the powers of nature and to make hem subservient to man. That it is ight and praiseworthy for a man to ay down the knowledge which he has fathered in books for the benefit of ithers, but that even the greatest ■arthly knowledge is not sufficient to ■atisfy the craving of man's heart, iecause man has a conscience which ■onvinces him that there is a God to vhom he is responsible, a judgment n which he must appear and a hereafter of everlasting weal or woe. The peaker stated that the only book caching the knowledge how to find peace with God and eternal rest for he soul is the Bible. That through this way of salvation today may be earned from other books, originally 1H these are taken from the Bible, md that the Bible alone is given of lod and teaches the way to God. Emihasts was put upon the reading of he Bible right, since it was not given o be used as good literature or as a ‘ext-book teaching facts of history, nuch about nations, countries, cusonis. animals, plants., social conduct md morals. Though unexcelled for »eauty of language and truthfulness, ret,, if man had learned all these hings from the Bible, and had not ound the sun and center of the Bible, fesxs Christ of Nazareth, then, the ipcaker said, the reader of the Bible rad not understood the Bible right, md had not found eternal Nte in it Wore than this, it was explained that if Christ were not found in the Bible *s the Savior of the soul, the righteousness and life of man, but was merely taken and regarded as an extmpiar worth emulating in one life, as t new lawgiver, setting aside the fact that salvation is in His person as the Redeemer and that Christ is the end »f the law, this reeding of the Bible was in vain, though it be read a dozen times through and more.

A tract with a statement of Lutheran principles was distributed after the service from which he following quotations is given on the Bible: "We believe and teach that the Holy Scrip‘nres of the Old and New Testament ire in every part the inspired Word of God, who is the author of the words is well as the thoughts of Scripture. We believe that the Bible is the clear est book ever written, and that no nerson of ordinary intelligence, and unprejudiced mind can fail to understand its teachings, and to find in it the Way to Life. We believe that the Bible, as the revelation of God, is unalterable ad complete, requiring no human interpretations, and permitting no addtion to its teachings from any GGUrCri The next service is to be held next Wednesday evening, May 19, at eight o’clock.

I “During the war I thought the people of America were made over," he said recently, addressing the Bloomington, HL commerce body. “Everyone got his feet off th* ground. Everyone wanted to know, 'How can I best serve’? They gave ao that the soldier in the trench could strike his heaviest blow. But with the armistice, all tills went down tn cold-blooded selfishness. If this Isn’t corrected, we will have won the fight but lost the war!" Judge Landis, as baseball commissioner, reinstated Joe Harris of the Cleveland Indians, ruling that his being gassed In the war caused him to do things that he otherwise would not have done. HEADS POST OF WAR NURSES Miss Wilhelmina Weyhiog, Also Head Nurs* of Roosevelt Hospital, at Camp Custer. | Many year* of unselfish service—years which have whitened her hair

and softened her smile —have won for Miss WHhelmi n a Weyhlng, recently made head nurse at the Roosevelt American Legion Memorial hospital at Camp Custer, Mich., the undying respect of nurses everywhere, and the true reverence

and devotion of her many patients. Miss Weyhlng is the first commander of the American Legion post composed entirely of war nurses in Detroit. Upon her appointment as superintendent at the Camp Custer hospital, she resigned her position as director at the receiving hospital in Detroit. Dr. F. B. Broderick, department welfare officer, said of her; “Nursing has been her life work and she has a war record which cannot be equaled by any woman in the United States."

In 1914 Miss Weyhlng went to Serbia to aid In the typhus epidemic. She labored there unceasingly amid terrible conditions, and contracted the disease herself, which forced her to return in 1915. On her recovery, she was made chief nurse of Base Hospital i No. 17, with which outfit she served at Dijon, France, for 21 months. To- | day, all her efforts are bent toward . making the new Legion hospital a real home for tubercular veterans and as unlike a hospital, In atmosphere, as possible.

FEDERAL CONTROL OF EDUCATION IS UNDER ATTACK. tl'ailed Fr*M Service). Madison. Wia.. May 6—Plans fnr federalization of education in the United States and the creation of a place in the President's cabinet the head of national education were attacked today by E. A. Fitzpatrick, education expert and secretary of the Wisconsin board of education, in an article in the May issue of the Educational Review, a national education magazine. These plans, embodied in the Ster-ling-Tower bill now before congress amount to a “confession of the bankruptcy of the educational leadership of the state and of the local communities,” Dr. Fitzpatrick charged. Federal control of education will inevitably follow the distribution of federal money as provided in the Ster-ling-Tower bill according to Fitzpatrick, "State legislatures might continue to pass educational bills, but federal influences would be exerted through the all pervading standards the government would demand," he said. Fitzpatrick declared that one of the ills of the present education system, controlled by the state is that politi-cally-elected state superintendents lead educational activities in 38 states, and that, the preponderating number of county superintendents are also elected through political dabbling. The proponents of the federalization of education bills are advocating that it will remove the tax burden, but Fitzpatrick's article charges that fed cral taxes are paid by the people the same as local levies and that the advocates of the bill are pushing it because it is politically inexpedient to raise local or state taxes. Fitzpatrick concedes that some states might be benefited by federal aid, but declares th* it should be given only to those that are below the national educational minimum qualfications. and for such a length of time as the state's poverty makes impossible the attainment of the national standard of education. The proposal to create a Cabinet office for the nation’s educational leader is declared by Fitzpatrick to be based on the theory that the position will create leadership. '“ln this move toward nationalization we are working for a social patent medicine that wil be a panacea for all our educational ills, and we are very likely to be disappointed,” Fitzpatrick believes. He suggested 'hat the federal leadership of education, if remodelled at all. be designed to hold a similar legal position, and system of organization, as the United States Commerce Commission, or the Smithsonian Institute.
